Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

I want a disgustingly pink bike now.

Right, sorry everyone. Need to calm down/have a cup of tea.

God I remember lusting over that...

Want!

second one is classic hhsb. Whats the etiquette with posting your own bikes? i feel my new one is perfect for this thread

Straight up porn

Pajamas had the best pink bike. I've looked for the pictures on the sales thread, but since he's having a sabbatical they're not currently available.

It was a smasher though.

What's the stem on that? Anyone know?

It's an old skool 1" quill bmx stem. If you keep an eye on ebay you should be able to pick one up. It'll be quite heavy tho...but probably 'bullet-proof" which fits with the hhsb theme.

I love Co-motion bikes, especially that one as set up in the first pic.

Right, these last 2 pages settled it. The Fort is getting a hot pink/purple flip paint job come spring....

Alot of those bikes are not HHSB's - deep v's and a set of risers does not a HHSB make.

HHSBism is founded upon taking a combination of a frame that it would be totally ridiculous for any rational minded person to consider as a form of daily transport, combining it with a number of equally impractical components that must include at least one (ideally two) super deep section, spok or carbon aero wheels, and putting the whole thing together in a way that avoids the resulting build being dumped straight into Anti-Porn.

A conventional frame requires use of ridiculous tarck wheels in order to even begin to qualify as a HHSB - If said HHSB is based around an unusual frame, ideally an obscure late 80's early 90's lo pro or modern crabon track machine then use of aero wheels is not necessary provide said frame is clearly a ridiculous proposition for use on the road.

A HHSB should consist either of a "Murder Out" stealth look, where meticulous attention has been applied to ensuring not one component compromises this look, or else be painted in the most outlandish colourway possible whilst ensuring it does not look like Pengy.

It should be noted by anyone attempting to build a HHSB runs the gauntlet of finishing up with a machine that is straight up antiporn - a good place to start before building a HHSB is to google image search "Leader Bikes" and take note to avoid building anything resembling the disturbing images your search will reveal.

Awesome. I was talking with Murts about this on Thursday and wanted to keep an eye out for one just in case. Thank you very much!

vinylvillain just wrote the wiki entry for HHSB.

That is all.

meanwhile a great thread. a bit like "back in the days"...
